My life skills in Daming Liver.

Chapter 96

Su Ze only heard this woman in brocade clothes disguised as a man talking to the old man in the hospital costume:
"Huang Tiju, the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau of our dynasty wants to set up Zhibiao (anti-infectious disease), Baoji (Obstetrics and Gynecology), Huimin (cheap medicine), etc. Why does our Huimin Medical Bureau here only have cold and hot ( catch a cold) together?"

"Fang, Mr. Fang, you don't know something. The income of the medical bureau is too low. The doctors all go to the Shaw Medical Center. The cold and hot hall is supported by the old man and his son. It is really impossible to open other halls."

The woman in brocade clothes frowned and asked: "After the new magistrate took office, hasn't he already made up the life insurance money owed to the medical bureau? Why do you pay it back like this?"

"As soon as this life insurance money arrived at the pharmacy, several farms that supply medicinal herbs came to our door. We owed too much money for medicine over the years, and it was not enough for these farms to share."

This old man was promoted by the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, which is not an official, not even an official, but a position passed down from generation to generation by medical households just like the hundred households in the Weisuo.

The Huang family is the contemporary leader of the Nanping County Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, and was the director of a third-tier hospital in a prefecture-level city before Su Ze crossed over.

However, this Huang Tiju's clothes were covered with patches, and his hands were covered with calluses and burns. Su Ze knew at a glance with [medical skills] that these were traces left by long-term processing of traditional Chinese medicine.

Such a big Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau actually had to prepare medicinal materials by itself, which shows that this Huang Tiju is really in a bad situation.

The woman in brocade clothes asked: "How can there be such a deficit?"

Huang Tiju said with a bitter face: "When the medicine is applied at the beginning of every month, the rogues in the city will block the entrance of the pharmacy, take the medicine at a low price and then sell it on the street. Tell the little old man that I will go to see the official, and the application of medicine at the beginning of each month will consume more than half of the medicinal materials brought in by the pharmacy, so there is no income."

Huimin Pharmacy is considered a welfare institution. At the beginning of each month, medicines are donated, usually some mixtures to treat diarrhea or colds.

Originally, this policy was regarded as a good policy, but soon the rascals and scoundrels set their eyes on the pharmacy's donation.

Every time when giving alms, these local ruffians would rush into the pharmacy, snatch the donated medicine, and then sell it at a high price on the street in front of the pharmacy.

The people who really need medicines can't get free medicines, and these local rogues regard the monthly medicines as a welfare, and if the free medicines supplied by the pharmacy run out, they will beat and scold Huang Tiju.

The woman in brocade clothes asked in surprise: "Does the Yamen not care?"

"Yamen, how can the yamen manage it? Most of the gangsters on the pharmacy side belong to the Bawang Club. They are also known as the two major clubs in Nanping County along with the Luohanjiao at the gate of the city. They are backed by rich families. They are not promoted by the pharmacy at all. Can offend."

Huang Tiju sighed again and said, "I have also taught a few clever apprentices, and now they all go to the medical center to do it. With the income of Huimin Pharmacy, it is difficult to support their families."

"Even if there weren't these rogues grabbing the medicine, the pharmacy wouldn't be able to make money. I don't have all the medicines here, so how can I treat people?"

In Huang Tiju's father's generation, Huimin Pharmacy had medicine fields. At that time, relying on the output of the medicine field, Huimin Pharmacy was able to maintain itself. When officials and gentry in the city were sick, they were all polite. His father went to see a doctor.

But in Huang Tiju's generation, all the medicine fields in the pharmacy were sold by the government, and the special appropriation "survival money" was often in arrears, and it was delayed for a whole year before the new magistrate arrived!
In order to keep the pharmacy going, Huang Tiju even invested in his own property.

If it weren't for his son still helping out at the pharmacy, this pharmacy wouldn't even be able to treat cold and fever.

The woman in Jinyi finally believed what Huang Tiju said, and the Huimin Pharmacy in Yanping Mansion really couldn't keep going.

In fact, this pharmacy is not bad, and the Huimin pharmacy in some areas has closed down.

"If you withdraw a year's life insurance money first, can you make up for the medicinal materials?"

"The commonly used medicinal materials can make up for it, but now everyone in the city goes to Shaw's Medical Center for intractable diseases, and it is difficult to maintain just the medicinal materials."

"You fill it up first, I will find a way to call the nobles in the city to come to you for medical treatment."

Pfft, Su Ze couldn't help laughing.

Both Huang Tiju and the woman in brocade clothes looked at Su Ze.

Then the brocade-clothed woman asked with a smile on her lips, "Young Master, why are you laughing?"

The eavesdropping was discovered, and they laughed at the other party in public. Su Ze could only cup his hands and said, "I accidentally listened to the conversation between the two of you. It was really abrupt. Xiaosheng bid farewell."

"Wait a minute, are you laughing at what I said?"

Seeing that although the woman in brocade clothes had a smile on her lips, but her words were full of guns and sticks, Su Ze didn't intend to spoil her, so he said directly:

"There are restaurants opening up that urge their companions to eat and drink, but I've never seen anyone urging people to go to a medical clinic. What's the use of going if the illness can't be cured?"

Huang Tiju lowered his head in shame. In fact, his medical skills are not considered low. It is enough to see a doctor in this city, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. There is too much shortage of medicinal materials, and there is no way to prescribe medicine.

The woman in brocade clothes was a little dissatisfied, but what Su Ze said was true. Seeing a doctor is not for eating, so there is no way to urge others to go.

She rolled her eyes and said: "Young Master, you heard it just now, the pharmacy is like this, do you have a good recipe to bring the dead back to life?"

Want to let yourself come up with ideas for nothing?

Su Ze said uninterestedly: "Illness lies in the marrow of the bone, and there is nothing to do with it."

Su Ze was going to leave like this, but he didn't expect the woman in brocade clothes to stand in front of him and ask, "Han Feizi?"

It was only then that Su Ze remembered that the ancient prose in his school textbooks was not knowledge accessible to ordinary scholars in this era.

Pre-Qin ancient texts were very popular in the Ming Dynasty, but they were lost too much in the past dynasties, and the major bibliophiles cherished them with their brooms, and they were not as widely spread as they were in the information age.

The woman in brocade clothes felt that Su Ze was extraordinary when she heard Su Ze say something casually about Han Fei.

All I saw was this brocade-clothed woman bowing to Su Ze and saying, "Huimin Pharmacy is for Huimin. If you really have a way, please enlighten me."

Su Ze was a little surprised. The lady in Jinyi was able to be escorted by the pharmacy, and she was able to tell a big family in the city to see a doctor. Obviously, her status was extraordinary.

But she didn't use her identity to suppress herself, but humbly asked herself for advice.

And she really wanted Huimin Pharmacy to "benefit" the people.

The Huimin Pharmacy is open, at least it can benefit some common people.

If it really goes bankrupt, ordinary poor people will have to wait to die if they get sick.

Su Ze thought of this and decided to do something for Huimin Pharmacy.

He bowed back and said: "For lifting, there is paper and pen."

Huang Tiju immediately said: "Yes, yes!"

Huang Tiju guided Su Ze and the woman in brocade clothes to the counter, took out a pen and paper and spread it in front of Su Ze.

Su Ze is tall and has an extraordinary appearance. Huang Tiju has some expectations in his heart, wondering what he can do to bring the pharmacy back to life.

Su Ze picked up a pen and quickly wrote down several medicinal materials and their ratios.

With his current Lv1 medical skills, naturally there is no powerful prescription.

But to solve the predicament of the medical bureau, there is no need for a powerful prescription.

Su Ze wrote the first prescription, which is a very common dietary drink in later generations, and it is also the most popular drink in Fujian-Guangzhou area-herbal tea.

Herbal tea is very popular in Fujian and Guangzhou in later generations. It can clear away heat and detoxify, produce body fluid and quench thirst, dispel fire and dehumidify, and it is suitable for all ages. It can be regarded as a therapeutic drink.

Although unsweetened herbal tea is bitter, it has a unique sweet aftertaste. If there is more sugar, it will be a drink with a unique flavor.

Moreover, herbal tea is a common drink in the Fujian-Guangzhou area, and the medicinal materials needed are also common medicinal materials, which are not expensive.

After writing down the recipe for herbal tea, Su Ze wrote down the recipe for sour plum soup.

The main ingredients of sour plum soup are processed dark plums and hawthorns, which are also common medicinal materials in pharmacies, and the price is very cheap.

This drink is also popular across the country. Su Ze wrote an improved recipe in the Qing Dynasty, which is just right for the hot summer in Fujian.

Su Ze wrote the two prescriptions, handed them to Huang Tiju and said:
"Every day, you follow these two recipes, boil two large cans of soup and tea and put them at the door, let people drink them for free within ten days, and then move them back for sale after ten days."

"You can set the selling price yourself. You can put the soup and tea in a bamboo tube first, and let someone buy it back together with the bamboo tube. Next time you want to buy it, you only need to bring the bamboo tube over and it won't count as the bamboo tube money."

Huang Tiju and the woman in brocade clothes looked at each other, and after looking at each other, Huang Tiju asked:

"Excuse me, my lord, what do these two prescriptions treat?"

Su Ze said: "The first prescription is mainly for clearing away heat and disinfection, dispelling fire and dehumidification, and it can be drunk even if there is no disease."

"The last recipe is sweet soup. It tastes better if you add sugar, but your pharmacy can't afford to add sugar. This is a summer drink to cool off the heat. At most, it has the effect of strengthening the stomach and eliminating food."

Huang Tiju thought for a while, from a pharmacological point of view, Su Ze's two prescriptions really have the same effect, but isn't he a pharmacy?Why did you sell soup and tea?

The eyes of the woman in brocade clothes lit up. In fact, beverages were already very popular in the Ming Dynasty.

In the "Neng Duo Shi Shi" in the early Ming Dynasty, it recorded the production methods of many kinds of drinks, and in the fourth volume, "Diet and Disease Prescription", it focuses on the health care diet for the elderly, and introduces the diet therapy methods of using food to treat common diseases of the elderly.

Today's great Confucians who study the mind also pay attention to "responsive food to the weather", and pay attention to eating the corresponding food in the four seasons to purify the body and mind.

Although I don't know how Su Ze's two prescriptions taste, there seems to be nothing wrong with the therapeutic drinks sold by Huimin Pharmacy.

With my own relationship, I can also use some of my relationship to get the patronage of dignitaries in the city.

The raw materials on this prescription are not very valuable. They are all common medicinal materials, and Huimin Pharmacy also has them in stock. If the price is reasonable, it can still make money.

As long as it can make money, Huimin Pharmacy can hire more doctors and buy more medicinal materials, and the pharmacy can continue to operate.

The woman in brocade clothes sincerely bowed to Su Ze again and said, "Thank you sir for the prescription."

Then she said: "If you dare to ask Mr. Gao's name, if you can really bring the pharmacy back to life, you will definitely be rewarded and sent to the government."

Although there are only two drinks, they seem to be secret recipes handed down in the family. Su Ze's friendship is quite important.

But the lady in brocade clothes didn't know that this was just a recipe for Lv1 skills, and there were better drink recipes behind Su Ze.

If Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau can really open up the situation and start a beverage market, Su Ze also considers letting people from Changningwei set up stalls to sell tea in major traffic routes.

Moreover, Su Ze was also moved by the heart of the woman in brocade clothes to benefit the people, so the pharmacy came up with a solution.

As for whether it can be successful, whether it will be blackmailed by the rogues of the Bawang Society after making money, this is what Su Ze thinks about.

However, it is not Su Ze's style to do good deeds without leaving a name. He returned the salute and said, "I am in Changning Wei Su Ze, and Meng Hai taught Qingyan to study in the county school."

Originally, Su Ze just reported his name and address casually. Unexpectedly, the woman in brocade clothes said, "It turns out that it is Su Ze, Mr. Su, who is the 'Crown the Seven Books of Benevolence and Righteousness'. I'm sorry."

On the contrary, Su Ze was stunned. He didn't expect this woman in brocade clothes to have heard the question she gave to County Magistrate Bai.

Is the circle of scholars in Nanping County so small?

Immediately afterwards, the woman in brocade clothes said with a smile: "Since Mr. Su gave the prescription, please also give names to these two drinks."

Su Ze thought for a while and said, "The first tea drink should be called Huimin Herbal Tea, which means Huimin."

"The second drink already has a name, so it should be called sour plum soup."

The woman in brocade chanted repeatedly: "Benefit herbal tea, good! It is something that benefits the people as soon as you hear it. The sour plum soup is even more mouth-watering as soon as you hear it. It must be a great product to cool off. Mr. Su's talent, Xiaosheng admires."

Only then did Su Ze remember that he came here to practice his skills, so why did he come up with a recipe and a name.

This woman is poisonous!
Under her humble and polite appearance, she can always achieve her goals through words.

I'm afraid she doesn't belong to the fox!

Su Ze thought of this, and said simply: "There is still class in the afternoon, and Su is leaving."

After saying this, Su Ze left Huimin Pharmacy without looking back.

Huang Tiju held two prescriptions, and said anxiously in his heart: "Mr. Fang, is this method feasible?"

The Mr. Fang took Fang Zi and said: "In this case, I will pay half of the money, and this business can be regarded as our partnership."

"partnership?"

Huang Tiju was stunned for a moment, only to hear Mr. Fang say:

"If it's a loss, I will share it with the pharmacy, and if it makes a profit, I will share half of the profit."

Huang Tiju thought about it, if he wanted to buy tea mugs and bamboo tubes, he would have to spend money, so this would be a way to have both.

The woman in brocade clothes said again: "If you make money, send [-]% of the profit to the county school to that Mr. Su."

"Why is this?"

"People come up with prescriptions for the purpose of benefiting the people. Repaying virtue with virtue is the long-term way. Can you not give up this little benefit?"

Although Huang Tiju was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to disobey Mr. Fang, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

Mr. Fang said again: "Just make a copy, and I will take back Mr. Fang's original."

How could Huang Tiju dare to disobey this person's intention, and quickly said: "Obey!"

Fang "Master" looked at Su Ze's Lv3 calligraphy, shook his head and said, "This character is not even as good as my father's. It's really not good, but people are interesting."

"I want to go back and write to my uncle, but I can still do business like this!"

Su Ze walked quickly to the county school, but he didn't expect that when he got to the gate of the county school, the carriages and horses blocked the Lingxing gate, and the team lined up at the Town God's Temple at the entrance of the alley.

When did the county school become so lively?
